Returned from hospital earlier this evening after having met consultant re Deaf Star son's brain scans from the dreaded MRI machine.

The latest test results show that the unexplained "white matter" lesions on his brain, which can be an indicator of MS, or any number of other lethal ailments, have not progressed or worsened from the first test ten weeks ago.

We are told that this is very, very good news and Rubychoo and I are tonight massively relieved.

No explanation of his sudden total deafness, although we'll meet a neuro-surgeon at the end of summer who might shed some light. Seems that the nerve receptors have just sort of, erm, burned out.

So.

From within our world, where experience has taught us to nearly always expect the worst, it's onwards and upwards to new beginnings.

Cool.
